Laser Engineer I
Company
Photonics Industries International, Inc., one of the largest solid-state laser manufactures in the world, is seeking talented individuals to join our innovative/successful team. We manufacture a diverse array of lasers, including those in the nanosecond, sub-nanosecond, picosecond, and femtosecond regimes, serving both industrial, defense, medical and scientific markets.
Founded in 1993, Photonics Industries is a privately-held company headquartered in Ronkonkoma, New York. Since its inception, the company pioneered intracavity harmonic laser which has been growing from niche market to over a half of billion dollars critical industrial market today.
As pioneers in the field, we hold 28 issued patents and have several additional patents pending. We are committed to continuous innovation and advancing the field of photonics.
As a leader in solid-state laser manufacturing with the broadest product portfolio in the industry, Photonics Industries is looking for talented individuals to join our growing team based in Long Island, NY. If you're passionate about cutting-edge laser technology and eager to contribute to innovations that shape the future, we want to hear from you!
Be part of our dynamic team and help drive the next generation of laser technology.
Responsibilities
- Evaluate laser build yield and product stability.
- Characterize builds on new products.
- Help transition new lasers to production.
- Work closely with class IV lasers in a clean room lab environment wearing a lab coat, clean room shoes, gloves, and a hair net. Safety precautions are to be observed at all times when in the clean room lab environment, especially laser protective eyewear, to protect against eye-exposure from diffuse or reflected laser light.
- Assist laser technicians with questions or problems that they run into during their build process.
- Document and investigate the cause of any failures in the products. Assist to find solutions, test their effectiveness, and implement into existing builds.
- Assist in proposing and modifying production build documentation.
- Actively track in-house and field failure mechanisms to assure problems are addressed and solved.
- Identify problems within manufacturing that decrease component yield and consistency.
- Test failure modes in lasers to reproduce field problems and address them with corrective solutions.
- Intermittent travel requirements to provide on-site customer support if needed.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s Degree in Physics, Applied Physics, Optics/Optical Science, Optical Engineering, Photonic Science and Engineering, or another related scientific/technical discipline.
- Basic knowledge and understanding of general physics and optics.
- Ability to follow directions and work within a group.
- Manual dexterity, and good hand/eye coordination, with the ability to handle small, fragile, and costly components.
Extra Qualifications
- Basic knowledge and understanding of general photonics, i.e. lasers, semiconductor photon sources/laser diodes, beam optics, resonator optics, laser amplification, ultrafast optics, guided-wave optics, acousto-optics, electro-optics, nonlinear optics, etc.
